From: Alan R. Katz <KATZ@USC-ISIF> According to the May issue of Moviegoer magazine (freebee mag): George Orwell meets Monty Python occurs in Terry Gilliam's new film, "Brazil." This film is supposedly the second film in the Time Bandits trilogy. It is set in a society ruled by the Ministry of Information, a Big Brother style bureacracy which supposedly exists in Christmas, 1984 (which is when the film is scheduled for release). "Brazil" stars Michael Palin, Ian Holm, Katherine Helmond, and a cameo by Robert De Niro. In true Pythonesque fashion, the film has nothing to do with South America. Also, Stephen King's Firestarter (which is really more of a science fiction novel than horror) is being made into a movie, the lead role is being played by Drew Barrymore. It is currently being filmed. Alan -------
